They don't see the whole sphere. Neither did Concorde passengers or U2 pilots. Nor do the astronauts on the ISS. It was one of the highlights of the Apollo lunar missions (8, 10, 11 onwards) and the first pictures caused astonishment around the world and are generally held responsible for kicking the greenie movement off ("an isolated blue marble in the black void of space").
If you're going to be that pedantic, then you can't see the whole sphere of any other celestial body either; only half of it at most. |

I think you can only ever see half at most.

It's not being pedantic it's factual. If you want to get picky about words will "complete disc" be ok with you? Hope the period finishes soon x x x |
